389 oiling issue
Building a 64' 389 out of a 64' Catalina and I'm having oiling issues to the valve train. While priming the engine on the engine stand I'm not getting any oil to the rocker studs at all. I have rotated it while I prime it but no oil. My first thought was that the cam bearings were installed wrong and covered up the feed hole to each side head. I actually pulled the heads and cam and that's not it. The cam bearing hole to the feed holes to each side lines up along with the one going to the main.
The camshaft has two holes like normal on the #2 and #4 cam journal. One question is should those holes intersect with each other? Any thoughts are appreciated. I'm stumped.
